Abstract

A novel method for extraction and analysis of volatile compounds of Artemisia haussknechtii Boiss., using simultaneous hydro-distillation and static headspace liquid microextraction followed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (SHD-SHLPME-GCMS) is developed. SHLPME parameters including nature of extracting solvent, headspace volume and design, extraction time, sample weight and microdrop volume were optimized. Comparison of hydro-distillation gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and HD-SHLPME-GCMS showed that the latter method is fast, simple, inexpensive and effective for the analysis of volatile compounds of aromatic plants. By using this method, 56 compounds were extracted and identified for Artemisia haussknechtii Boiss. The main constituents of its essential oil that were extracted by HD-SHLPME method, include camphor (41.01%), 1,8-cineole (32.35%), cis-davanone (3.68%), 4-terpineol (2.99%), linalool (2.84%), beta-fenchyl alcohol (2.72%), and borneol (2.58%).
